Abstract
Ten core samples representing the subsurface formation of Sidi Salem well No. 1, in the onshore Nile Delta, Egypt. The samples were subjected to comprehensive organic geochemical studies (such as rock-eval pyrolysis, gas chromatograph [GC] and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry [GC-MS]) aiming to evaluate potential source rocks, organic matters types, depositional environments, and maturation. The results revealed that the source rocks in the drilled sections are marginally mature to mature zone and have fair to good potential for generating oil and gas. These rocks are dominated by organic matter derived mainly from mixed organic matters (marine and terrestrial) with contributions from algae and bacteria deposited under anoxic to suboxic saline environments.
